Fallout 76 Why Best Build Camps Appear On Private Servers

[@dazzmead]

Absolutely liking a best build for a daily challenge should not be a thing, I usually re-roll these!

[@ghostyunknown2003]

Yep, went on my PRIVATE SERVER and three “Best Camps” were there. They were not empty, but had everything. Nuke away! Thanks for the info!

[@Embrachu]

"Best builds" likely show up on private servers to satisfy daily challenge requirements, as you said. But ultimately, these best build ghost camps are intended to manipulate people into making purchases from the Atomic Shop, because people tend to have an impulsiveness to create, and to compete. So the camps really become advertisements for the Atomic Shop.

[@BirdOfHermes83]

Everything is supposed to make you want to spend more money. Thats why the atomic shop works better than the actual game! My game crashed ONCE while getting the free stuff. Just once. My game has crashed like 4 times tonight just playing for around 2 hours.

[@johnlinton6118]

I was thinking about building a giant toilet made from gold toilets and submitting it as a best build.

[@RickGamesNow]

YES!!!! DO IT!!!

[@LegendaryWarChicken]

Don't forget also golden poop.

[@BirdOfHermes83]

I'll give it a like if I see it! 💩 And not just for the daily. 👍

[@CentiusX]

They need to add a toggle for this. If you want it you can have it but I think most on 1st don't. They should also make it so best build's don't overwrite active camps. If you log in, and a best build is in your spot, it should be the one to go.

[@Minskmaus]

Same with survival tents. Incoming camps should have priority over those as well

[@Minskmaus]

When you absolutely HAVE to like a best build, you can do all three (or whatever) on the same one, cos you can "unlike" once you've liked it. No need for multiple separate camps to like. Then just leave it unlocked at the end, esp if it's a piece of trash box on the woods type camp. I agree wholeheartedly that liking them should not be a daily, but sometimes you do come across one that's worth it

[@grumpydragonproductions264]

Love that you still come up in my feed about Fallout 76, Rick. I hope things are going well. Cheers!

[@RickGamesNow]

I'm glad I do too. lol

[@Del_UK]

The annoying issue is, Private servers up to 8 people, you are allowed 7 friends and you. Each "Best Build" camp takes one of those slots away. So, if you have planned to do a friends only event on your private server, there is a chance they will be stuck in a queue not able to join.

[@tishmusso3949]

If that's the case, the game should prioritize the players' right to rhe lobby...or not count a camp as if it's a player.

[@rickynolen8882]

The daily challenge kind of takes votes away from those camps builders that have spent hours in building great camps, to just whatever random camp you come across to satisfy your daily challenge. I personally take time to find camps that shows the builder took time and built an outstanding camp for my vote. otherwise, what's the point .

[@RickGamesNow]

Exactly!

[@lunarhexagon8108]

liking them for challenges, I right away unliked them, because indeed, for doing challenge, i will not hop servers (because despite what was told, to me they never refreshed on one server I was) to find one worthy "best build", I want to have thing just done but I dont want to leave like on some garbage pile with three foundations and scattered collectors, no idea if those likes do even anything, I havent heard about any rewards or whatever with this feature or any effects to be of those likes, I am not even sure how to look how well liked my build I submitted is, or how it compares to average or whatever

[@jonnytroggs5186]

What should happen is keep the " visit a best build" daily and remove the "like a best build". As for private servers bethesda should have made a if statement saying "if your on a private server auto reroll this daily if it pops up, if your on public keep dailys as is.

[@lunarhexagon8108]

@@jonnytroggs5186 I think even "go visit (or use camera in) best builds" should be gone, since even just funneling people to go actively out of their way to go to builds, would just affect rating, I guess, maybe negligibly but still, thing is set up terribly in first place in my opinion, and any challange related to that makes it only worse, it should be left alone so it gets rated as consistently and honestly it can with given system they made, however bad that itself I consider that, maybe I am only person having really this big issue with this but well.. I like concept, dont like how they handled it

[@jonnytroggs5186]

@@lunarhexagon8108 agreed, on how bad it is they implemented it we should look to find ways it can be improved. If taking it out of daily challenges is one thing, then maybe making everyone's active camps a best build since the voting is usually done as a daily system on the server in particular. Edit: That way people can support those camps by jumping from one to the next and actually admire them whether its for vendors or using them as fast travel points.

[@jettzigirl1470]

The whole best build thing is ridiculous

[@RickGamesNow]

It kinda is.

[@hughejass9461]

Since I'm almost always close to being maxed on caps I've taken to traveling to these best build camps every time one pops up. To be sure a handful have been really impressive, but most have been prefabs with a few crafting stations and vendors tossed in. Many are floating, empty, or really poorly decorated with no theme. If these are supposed to be the best of the best then something has gone seriously wrong. Plus, forcing us to vote on them takes away the whole point of the camp.

[@rman74VC]

I think a Bethesda post said they would be featuring best builds across servers. I guess they include private ones too.

[@IvanGarcia-xy7bf]

FYI guys you are able to take your like back and and then vote it back up again to help complete your daily challenge easy, All in the first same best build's camp you visit, there's no need to leave them a like if you don't want to or think that camp doesn't deserve it.

[@WarpigGaming.]

It’s the same on live servers, when people make there base into a best base …. You can’t access there vendor but you can see the base is active even seen the owner in one so definitely think it’s a bug for now

[@draycephantom9940]

If we are paying them for a private server we shouldn’t have to deal with seeing other ppls trash camps…

[@RickGamesNow]

Agreed.

[@tishmusso3949]

Well, you can ignore them?

[@neethsuesvoldar3265]

So if people lay out a buncha resource collecting camp items in a best build others can take from them that's kinda neat actually.

[@victorsoto4821]

Yea it's what I've done

[@DuckDecoy13]

Apparently from what someone told me what you are seeing are literally ghost camps. This happens all the time on public servers. Apparently you can interact with everything at the camp except the vendor station. I want to buy something from those best build camps

[@RickGamesNow]

Yes.

[@rdreeves2332]

Literally? But how can a camp die and then make it to a digital world on the prime material plane?

[@thejonathandoan]

I haven't been able to use any Best Build camp's vendors. Even on public servers. It's like the vendors are disabled or there's a glitch. Weird.

[@rickynolen8882]

Thats to prevent the camp owner from losing caps if they should go over the max limit of caps due to sales

[@RickGamesNow]

That is weird.

[@rivanlords1]

@@RickGamesNow Its a ghost copy of a camp that is in a virtual rotation. And day/any time the camp can be active on a random server. If the vendors worked, while the camp owner is asleep and his ghost camp is active he would go over cap limits and lost caps and items because. Its a furniture item nothing more in the ghost best build version of camps. Makes legit perfect sense.

[@cortlinfulgham8102]

Cause I know there are a few vendors i went too, that wasn't linked to a generator and only to one of the wall conduits that the cable link to, their vendor wasn't powered. Mine are submitted and my vendors are powered up, though unless you are at max cap and it won't allow others to buy from you, then that's fine.

[@deetigerhoover4129]

Wait! So you can pick the locks on Best Build Camps and not get Wanted?

[@RickGamesNow]

Only if they show up on your private server. They're like ghost camps. They're there, but, not really there.

[@jevraets53015]

The good news is you can like and then immediately unlike a camp and still get credit for it

[@jscotthatcher380]

once i get some free time to build i am confident my camp submissions will blow 99% of the other submissions out of the water. which shouldn't be that hard because over half that i've seen are really basic. and it is quite annoying to start up a private world and to not be able to open one of my camps up because a stupid basic "best build" is in the spot.

[@AQUASURF]

Like then click again to unlike... this get you the challenge but, doesnt give it the like... its people not understanding to remove the the like is the issue. Although it could be made more clear and done better I agree. As in just VISIT the camp for the daily and LIKE it to LIKE it...

[@Santorini76]

What if you nuke one? Are the owners even online?? If not, will the camp toadt when they sign back in? That would be an unwanted surprise.

[@ScalbyPlutot]

So healing factor is only 3% now?

[@Lordoftheapes79]

While there's truth to your points, more likely it just didn't make sense for them to build special instructions for private servers. Atleast not yet. I'm sure if enough people complain, they'll change it. That said, "Like a Best Build" should NOT be a challenge. Shitty builds are getting too many likes because of it. There should also be 3 options, like, love, and dislike. Like and love to separate the good from the fantastic and dislike(which shouldn't be shown to the public or the player) just to ween out the shitty ones on the back end.

[@BirdOfHermes83]

I wouldn't really care if we could shop from them. And locking your best builds is kind of a dick move.

[@SleepToNeverWakeAgain]

It wont even let me submit 😂 just says pending lol

[@tishmusso3949]

I don't see a problem having Best Build camps on private servers...but don't think visiting BestBuilds should be included in daily challenge...particularly NEVER should have to like them. I like visiting camps tho, and would do so on private severs even tho vendors aren't activated.

[@MrMunchman69]

You might have a problem when you log on to your private server only to find a best build at your camp and you have a free camp placement.

[@tishmusso3949]

@@MrMunchman69 True tho odds are that wouldn't be a frequent problem (and one that could probably be prevented id they added proper coding?)

[@JamesQ-l9l]

Please 🎉🎉🎉 dude did you nuke the camps and record it lol 😅

[@RickGamesNow]

Not yet.

[@lunarhexagon8108]

that they appear because you got dailies about them is stupidest possible reason, dont get me wrong, maybe it is totally truth and real reason, but stupidest it is that indeed as you imply, there should be NO challenges ever related to liking or even visiting or photographing "best build" camps, since it all tempers with actual rating, especially when you can only like them or do nothing, you cant put dislike button or report camp itself (you apparently can report player but if you step in some trap build, however rare it is, you cant report that as far I seen options for report are, and yes I encountered trap one, when it was build ass high by some glitch, since it was not connected to ground, and it spawned you in air to drop and die), I seen terrible camps liked a lot, not like it would be subjective, but it was not well built thing, it was just pile of opened containers you could loot from, some foundations, kind of stuff you may do first week when making just something to have at all, you can loot any collector and interact with everything, except vendor, even turrets shoot and work against enemies, so bunch of people can use those to assist bosses, I guess so far would work on scorched queen only and you cant predict or control if or when you get those around but that turrets work was interesting to me, other "best builds" I usually encountered were opposite kind of thing I dont like either, cramped up, claustrophobic overuse of "merging" bug to make "custom and original" furniture cramped up and standardized as "good building" in community, judging by how I seen its popularity overall, I think "best builds" should never appear in private server or it should be toggle in its setting, and there should be none daily challenge at all related to best builds, this feature at all should be solely about having nice camps and rated by community, and doing so should be not forced on people by dailies or weeklies, it is already RNG and luck based enough by that your camp can appear only on servers where are people uninterested in rating camps completely, or lucky to be on server where you get free likes for nothing, whenever I had "like best build" challenges, I unliked them right away too, as indeed I went there only to get challenge done, not liked camp it offered me first, but surely not all, likely not even many, people will do same when these occur (and still fact that people come more to builds when challenge is up makes it badly designed in my opinion already), I am only glad that so far one of those had not interrupted my camp spot, but I got my current camp on spot that is not usually interrupted anyway, so I guess not many people built camp exactly there

[@JACKALz]

One of them overlapped my camp🤬

[@RickGamesNow]

Really?

[@JACKALz]

@RickGamesNow yea, I freaked out because it was my first time seeing best build, then shut down my server because I was afraid of someone in my private world trying to steal from me😅

[@wolfredbeard5871]

Naw, just Beth's laziness. Not wanting to write code to tell the diff.

[@The_dodger00]

You can't visit any vending on a best builds, even on a public server. And I hate Best Builds, as a lot are rubbish and just use prefabs.

I avoid the daily challenge for best builds just because I think that its rigged , I re roll those challenges.

I SOOOOO hate this new feature!! I wanna be alone on my server, pay a lot for it. So it happens, that I can open all of my camps ...
